Hosted by n8n

In The Loop 2026 brings automation builders and enterprise operators to Berlin on 13–14 October for two days of n8n talks, workshops and networking. Hosted at Wilhelm Studios in Berlin, this is n8n’s first conference in its hometown. The programme combines Partner Day on 13 October with Ecosystem Day on 14 October, creating a meeting point for people building AI-powered workflows and teams treating automation as core infrastructure. Two tracks, practical lessons The conference focuses on real challenges rather than abstract possibilities. The Building with n8n track is for people designing and shipping automations. Sessions will explore how to structure reusable systems, prepare for failure, investigate unexpected behaviour and keep workflows fast and affordable as usage grows. Attendees will also learn how to connect modern AI services with legacy systems while keeping probabilistic AI agents within deterministic rules and human oversight. Running n8n at scale is aimed at technical leaders, platform teams and operators responsible for business-critical automation. Topics include: - Tuning infrastructure as demand increases - Security, compliance and enterprise governance - Establishing policies that continue to work as more employees build - Managing changes without breaking production workflows - Using execution data to diagnose unexpected results - Developing the people and practices behind a sustainable automation programme Talks, workshops and community Confirmed sessions range from Jan Oberhauser’s opening keynote, “Our Vision for What’s Next,” to Sindhuja Jeyabal’s production-focused session on n8n Agents and the Vercel SDK. Romina Da Costa will explain how n8n manages 12,000 workflows, while Dana Harrison and Kevin Ng of TELUS will discuss building an automation culture.… Register for this event

⌖ London · South Place Hotel

Hosted by Corinium Intelligence

A private London dinner for senior data, AI, technology and security leaders exploring secure runtime data controls for enterprise AI agents on 13 October 2026. Hosted by Skyflow and organised by Corinium Intelligence, The Secure AI Paradigm brings a select group of 10–15 executives to South Place Hotel in London. The focus is a critical production challenge: giving autonomous AI systems the information they need while retaining control over how sensitive data is accessed, processed and revealed. What the roundtable will explore As AI agents begin retrieving information, calling tools and taking action independently, static permissions and conventional security boundaries may no longer provide sufficient protection. This closed-door conversation will examine practical ways to embed privacy, governance and least-privilege access directly into enterprise AI architecture. Discussion points include: - Deciding which sensitive data an AI agent genuinely needs - Applying dynamic, policy-driven controls based on identity, agent, task and context - Protecting data as it moves through RAG systems, models, APIs and tools - Managing agent-to-tool and agent-to-agent connections - Protecting PII without stripping away the context AI needs to perform effectively - Translating security, privacy and regulatory requirements into enforceable technical controls - Identifying where existing access controls fall short for autonomous workflows The group will also consider what must change when an agent can independently retrieve information and act, and what safeguards would give enterprises confidence to scale agents across sensitive workflows. Roundtable hosts The discussion will be hosted by Javier Morao, EMEA Head of Data & AI at Citi, who leads data commercialisation across more than 50 countries and has over 15 years of experience in data, analytics and transformation within global financial services. He is joined by Roshmik Saha, Co-founder and CTO of Skyflow, a technologist with more than 15 years of experience building secure, scalable platforms. His background spans Microsoft and leadership of Lyft’s self-driving car infrastructure. View the event and registration details

⌖ Glasgow · Glasgow University Union (GUU)

Explore AI’s hidden social, cultural and environmental impacts at this one-day symposium in Glasgow on 13 October 2026. Making the Invisible, Visible The Lovelace–Hodgkin Symposium 2026 asks what artificial intelligence reveals, what it conceals and who gets to shape its future. Taking place at Glasgow University Union on Ada Lovelace Day, the event will examine the assumptions, infrastructures and exclusions beneath AI, and connect technical systems to wider questions of fairness, representation and public participation. Rather than limiting the conversation to academics and technology specialists, the symposium welcomes anyone interested in technology, society, creativity, ethics or social justice. Its programme combines talks with participatory and creative formats, giving attendees multiple ways to investigate how AI affects people, communities and the stories told about them. What the day will explore Sessions and activities will consider: - The inner workings of large language models - Unintended consequences created by AI systems - Missing, invisible and misrepresented data - Surveillance, mapping and the relationship between technology and power - Environmental and cultural impacts of digital technologies - The voices and experiences included in, or excluded from, AI - Storytelling’s role in shaping understandings of history and technology - How the public can participate more meaningfully in emerging technologies The format extends beyond conventional presentations. Expect a creative, interactive mix of talks, workshops, games, artworks, film and group discussion. Throughout the day, participants will be encouraged to consider who benefits from AI, whose knowledge its systems reflect and how technology influences perceptions of ourselves, our communities and possible futures. Film screening and discussion The symposium will conclude with a screening of the LifeMosaic documentary Mapping & Monitoring in Indigenous Territories. A discussion with the film’s producer will follow, connecting the documentary to the day’s central themes of participation, knowledge, representation and power.… Register for this event
